5 Steps to Making A Decision
Every day we make thousands of decisions. Multiple sources on the internet suggest we make 35,000 decisions a day. I am great with “day time decisions” but the “night time decisions” are another story. How many nights have you spent wide awake wondering what to do with your life? I just spent an exhausting four nights wide awake trying to decide if I should do advanced professional coach training. I used this 5 step process to decide not to do the advanced coach training as it did not align with the order of my values. My sweet is more important than my love of learning and career right now.
- Identify your goal (an action)
- Ask yourself: Does this goal align with my values?
- Create a list of the pros and cons of the goal ( If more pros continue and if more cons dump the goal)
- Identify your decision (What belief will support your goal?)
- Rate the importance of your decision on a scale of 1 to 10. If not a 7 or higher refine it.
What decision have you made that you are proud of?
I love my life! I have a passion and a purpose to share my recipe for health and happiness with RDNs and others – maybe even more so now that I’ve officially retired. If you want to learn what I discovered through coaching 1000 people over 9000 hours check out my final post, “Live Like This Is Your Last Day. Someday It Will Be!”
“THANK YOU for sharing years of your energy with us (with ME). Several years ago, I attended a seminar you taught, and I got some great ideas so I subscribed to Abundant Mondays and I’m so very happy I did. You make a difference in my life even though we have never met. I continue on my journey to adjust and adapt to the changes life brings and to remain positive and a positive influence. With your help.” -KJ
